100 Films in a Year

Apr 06, 2006 17:35

This idea is totally stolen from singingrl.

I'm already kinda doing the same thing with books RIGHT HERE, so I thought adding a movie one to the fray would be fun too.

I love to rewatch films, so I'm going to add them to the list as well, but only ones I'm viewing for the first time will be included in the actual count. That way we can get a better grasp ( Read more... )

you hadn.t seen ..say anything..?! god i love that movie. i fell in love with john cusack because of that movie. ::swoon::

re: ..the 40 year old virgin..

uh, yeah. i thought that movie was retarded. ugh. i wish it hadn.t been made.

have fun with this adventure of yours!!. :D

I really hadn't seen Say Anything before! Totally crazy, huh? But now I can totally see where all the John Cusack love comes from I see all over the place. Lloyd Dobler really is one of the best movie boyfriends ever.

re: ..the 40 year old virgin.. uh, yeah. i thought that movie was retarded.

Ugh, I was so disappointed with it. Mainly because I'd heard such good things about it.

penelopeblack April 10 2006, 03:31:52 UTC

Oh yeah, totally agree with you about The 40 Year Old Virgin. It had its funny moments, but overall I was just unimpressed. :P

crystalkirk April 10 2006, 03:46:24 UTC

Yay! I'm glad there are others that didn't find it to be the funniest thing ever. I was afraid I was the only one that didn't love it. :)

This is pretty awesome, it makes me almost want to revise mine with pics...almost *g* ;) I love Parenthood, I saw it when it first came out on video and back then, I was like 8...so my taste has always skewed a bit older, and it's one of those movies that Hollywood doesn't really make anymore.

crystalkirk April 10 2006, 05:12:12 UTC

Awww! I saw Parenthood when I was a little one too, and have always loved it as well.

so my taste has always skewed a bit older

Me too! Mainly because there was no filter. Whatever my parents watched, I watched. They always felt if they made a big deal out of something it'd just make me MORE interested than if they just let the questionable content slip by without fuss. Which, really, I agree.

So that led to me loving, and being terrified of, Poltergeist in about equal measure, at like, five years old. LOL.

Strangely enough, E.T. fucking terrified me at that age more than the Poltergeist ever did. We started it, I threw a helluva fit, and I swear to God I didn't see that movie all the way through until I saw "Dawson's Creek" and it made me curious...in HIGH SCHOOL. Then I was all, "THIS IS IT?!" Heh.

It's just like right now, I've been sitting on (not literally, heh) a unopened DVD copy of The Lady in White for months. That movie scared the ever-living hell out me and my friends as children. Now that I've seemingly outgrown ( ... )

singingrl April 10 2006, 07:56:48 UTC

LOL! ET? Really? I guess, for me, it was "Labyrinth"...I know wtf? right...but for some reason it really freaked me the fuck out. That and "Child's Play" I made the mistake of seeing that a very early age and was *terrified* of my Teddy Ruxpin doll afterwards. I saw it again a few months ago and it's a pretty craptastic movie, so yeah I can totally relate.

I was really scared of Supernatural before I saw more of it than the first 15 minutes. The whole ceiling in flames thing scared me entirely too much, but now I'm practically caught up with it and yeah it's a bit scarier than my usual fandoms, but it's fun and the guys are hot, so it doesn't matter that much :) And Pet Sematary was a good movie, if I remember correctly...it totally warped my spelling of "cemetery" though, I lost a spelling bee because of that word.

*dies*

I loved my Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby dolls.

To top it off, I actually had one of the Chucky-esque dolls, named Corky. My (creepy) friends and I used to do the little bit where we'd lay him on the ground and try the spell. You know, the, Aday due damalla. Give me the power I beg of you! crap. And yet? Scared of ET. Go figure, hee! We actually had an elaborate plan that involved getting a tape to play in him that was dialogue from the movie to scare all the other kids. Problem was, we were second-graders, and didn't know how to do that yet. Heh.

I was really scared of Supernatural before I saw more of it than the first 15 minutes.

Awwwww! Too cute. I haven't ever been scared of that show yet.

And Pet Sematary was a good movie, if I remember correctly...it totally warped my spelling of "cemetery" though, I lost a spelling bee because of that word.PS was a fantastic movie. Not as wonderful now ( ... )

The Ref. I loved that movie so much. It was hysterically funny.

I'm think I just might need to breakdown and do this myself.

crystalkirk April 10 2006, 18:32:22 UTC

The Ref was fun - and you should totally do it yourself! It's been a blast so far. (And I think will be far easier than the book one, hee!)

luke2 April 10 2006, 18:47:17 UTC

Well I've officially started mine, and I'm sure I'm to kick butt on it too. :o)

crystalkirk April 10 2006, 19:14:30 UTC

Yay! Good for you. We're all going to have so much fun with this, hee! :)

so question? do you have your 100 movies (or some of them) already planned out? Or are you just watching random movies and adding them to the list?

I ask because I really like this idea.. but a lot of the movies I watch are sort of randomly decided upon (well except those that I get from netflix). So i'm debating would I set myself certain ones that I'd like to watch before the end of the year or do I just let the chips fall where they may.

crystalkirk April 11 2006, 04:16:10 UTC

I don't have them planned out, no. I mean, sure, there are a few I have in mind that I've always meant to see but never have before, but I don't have a set list by any means.

That's why I'm including re-watched movies too. Just whatever I watch during the year, I add to the list.

So, yes, it's very much letting the chips fall where they may in my case. :)

spicelmf April 11 2006, 04:22:38 UTC

Awesome.. hmm maybe i'll do this myself.. except part of me feels like I may just make it an actual journal entry type thing. I always save all my movie ticket stubs so part of me wants to get a big sketch book and paste them in there and write about the movie, who i saw it with, what i liked etc, etc. Then maybe i'd scan them and post them on my journal.

Who knows.. I feel like this is another thing that would be super cool to do.. yet in actuality will never happen haha.

I'd love to do the book one too but I am such a slow reader I could never do a book a week.

crystalkirk April 11 2006, 04:42:46 UTC

Putting the movie stubs into a book and then scanning the pages would be totally cool! That'd never work for me because I see things on DVD more often than at the theater. (I guess I could scan recipts, hee! But that's just so uncool in comparison, hehe.)

The book-a-week one isn't working out as well for me as I'd hoped. I'm a quick reader, but I just haven't taken the time to actually read them. (Or when I am in the mood to read, I pick fanfic instead, lol.)

I still have hope I'll get it done though, because when I do sit down and read, I'll complete the book in one sitting - or read half of it, and save the rest for the next night.
